ABOUT NUGGETS OF LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

PHOTOGRAPHER
LEIF
What started as a mama’s love for preserving the fleeting magic of childhood has grown into 8 years of capturing life’s most meaningful moments (with a healthy dose of whimsy and wonder along the way).

My photography journey began with film rolls my mom faithfully developed, followed by MySpace albums full of my teen world, thanks to a new digital camera nearly every Christmas. That joy never left—it only deepened.

Becoming a parent lit a spark that turned into a full-blown fire. I found so much wonder in documenting motherhood that it naturally expanded into milestone moments, families, and eventually—my favorite creative escape of all—fantasy sessions.

In 2023, I opened my very own studio (dream come true!), where I get to design enchanting sets that bring your stories to life. Honestly, creating those magical little worlds is just as fun for me as pressing the shutter.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a proud dog mom to two golden retrievers (Nugget & Waffles) and a corgi (Gnocchi), and I homeschool my two free-spirited kiddos. We go on as many adventures as I can cram into our schedules!

Fun fact: My studio is a revolving door of cute props, way too many backdrops, and whatever mushrooms, toads, or fairy trinkets I can justify as “decor.” If it looks like it belongs in a storybook, I probably have it. 🧚‍♂️🍄
